Distracted driving is estimated to be a factor in between 25 to 30% of
all traffic crashes—that's 4,000 or more crashes a day!
Driven To Distraction is a groundbreaking training DVD/video from
Coastal that is sure to raise the awareness of the danger of distracted
driving. This unique training program features a main character who is
the personification of all the distractions drivers deal with –
cell phones, cd or mp3 players, eating and drinking, children, maps, and
many more. He candidly tells the viewers how easy it is to get into the
car with them and how he loves the inevitable outcome.
The tragic result of his ride with two busy people is eye-opening. Keep
your employees safe on and off the job with this in-your-face look at
distracted driving. Convince them to leave distractions at the curb!
Watch a 30-second clip of Driven To
Distraction.
